We specialize in building high-quality gravel pads to ensure that your structures and vehicles rest on solid, dry ground.
Why Choose A Gravel Pad Over Concrete?
Gravel pads are not just about providing a level surface; they're about making sure your new level area has longevity, stability, and drainage , and it's also much more affordable than traditional pavement. Here's why gravel pads are a smart choice:
Drainage: Gravel allows water to drain away naturally, preventing pooling and the potential for water damage to your shed, container, or RV. It will also prevent the area from turning into mud during heavy rainfall or spring snow-melt.
Stability: A well-constructed gravel pad provides a firm foundation, reducing the risk of settling or shifting that can occur with softer ground.
Versatility: Whether it's a small pre-fabricated garden shed, a large shipping container, or a family RV, gravel pads can be customized to suit any size or weight, making them a versatile option for various needs.
Aesthetics: A neatly installed gravel pad can significantly enhance the appearance of your outdoor space, adding a touch of order and intention to the placement of your outdoor structures or vehicles.

Questions About Gravel Driveway Resurfacing?
Why should I choose a gravel pad for my shed or RV?
Gravel pads offer excellent drainage, preventing water accumulation that can lead to structural damage. They also provide a stable, level foundation, reducing the risk of shifting or sinking over time.
How do you determine the right size for a gravel pad?
The size of the gravel pad depends on the dimensions of your shed, shipping container, carport, RV, or camper. We recommend a pad that extends at least one to two feet beyond the structure's perimeter on all sides to ensure stability and adequate drainage.
What type of gravel do you use for the pads?
We typically use crushed limestone for its excellent drainage properties and ability to compact well, providing a stable base. The specific type of crushed stone used can vary based on availability and the specific needs of your project.
How long does it take to install a gravel pad?
Installation time can vary depending on the size of the pad and site conditions, but most gravel pad installations are completed within a day or two. We strive to minimize disruption and complete the project efficiently.
Can you install a gravel pad on uneven ground?
Yes, but it may increase the cost of your project. Part of our preparation process involves grading and leveling the site. We can adjust for uneven ground to ensure your gravel pad is perfectly level and stable.
How thick should the gravel pad be for a shed or RV?
The recommended thickness for a gravel pad can vary depending on the weight of the structure or vehicle it will support. For most garden sheds and portable carports, a layer of 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel is typically sufficient. For heavier structures like shipping containers or RVs that require additional support, we may recommend a thickness of 6 to 8 inches. During our initial site assessment, we'll determine the optimal thickness for your specific needs, ensuring your gravel pad provides a stable and durable foundation.
